Greetings!
I have enjoyed the great discussions on this forum for a few years now. In fact, when my 85 k100rs started looking coolant this site directed me to instructions and parts for replacing the oil and water seals. After looking through several instructions and consulting a few experts, I replaced both seals. When I put the pump back on oil started leaking through the weep hole at a steady drip. The parts i used had been sitting on my shelf for several years and the bottom of the pump housing where the oil seal sits was a little pitted, but not too bad, so I thought that one of those issues might be the problem.
I then bought brand new seals and this time applied a little permatex on the bottom of the oil seal to fill in any small inconsistencies that exist on the bottom of the housing and to hold the oil seal in place while (carefully) hammering in the water seal. After replacing the pump there is still a drip from the weep hole at the same pace as before.
What could the problem be??
The shaft and housing are both in great shape except for the minor damage on the bottom of the housing. I have included a picture of the housing below. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
